Palmer overhit that pass
I'm not absolving Jackson of blame

You should post it, i can't waste my time on a wasteful striker and showing a blind man a video.

Quit the shalaye and post the video. Let’s see if it won’t expose your football iQ

Apart from the pass been over hit, Palmer has no business passing that ball.

Put jackson in Palmer position, Airmark will tell you how Jackson spoilt a goal scoring opportunity by being afraid to shoot.

Put Palmer in Jackson position, probability of him even catching up with the ball is lesser than even shooting. Airmark will tell you again how Jackson made needless pass when he should be shooting to score.

nateevs:
You have completely misunderstood context here. I say this again.....

This season alone, Maresca has played 4 at the back, 3 at the back, inverted left back, inverted right back, inverted LB into 6, inverted LB into 8. Inverted RB into 6, inverted RB into 8. 2 attacking 8s, 2 defensive 6s, one DM, and one floating 6/8..... Palmer on the right 8, Palmer on the left 8.........To add to this, he's played high block, medium block, and low block at different times in the season.... all in a bid to achieve results.

Whilst at this, with largely the same players, no team has completely outplayed us all season. We've looked at every moment capable of dispersing any team, technically and tactically. Arsenal, a title competing side last season played defensively against us in our first meeting. That's fucking miles of progress in less than 6 months. Again, with largely the same players.


For context, Poch played almost the exact same way every single game, until the last 5, where he started inverting only the LB. In fact, it was the only clear formation/tactical modification he tried all season. We were lucky he was trying it out for the last 5 games of the season. By the 6th games, teams would have started to figure out how to play us, and we would have been back to no- clue management style. This was a guy who was playing Colwill at LB, Chilwell at LW.

We were out-played almost every single game, losing embarrassingly to Arsenal 5-0, and couldn't beat Liverpool kids with a full strength squad.

He played all season long with no identifiable pattern of attack, tactics or player development.

In contrast Maresca has shown us the capability of every single player, and possibly, the limit of every single player.

As opposed to Maresca, Poch had the autonomy of identifying the talents of Andrey Santos, Lewis Hall, Angelo Gabriel, Ian Maatsen, but didn't. Instead, sent them all out on loan. Instead he played his first 11 into the ground running running running, instead of tactical work, as corroborated by even his own players.


So yes, pound for pound, Maresca has shown with less autonomy, power, and manegerial experience that he can do more with less and inexperienced resources.

And so yes, Maresca deserves more tools, more time, more support.

It's not contradicting argument.

I don’t even know why you are explaining poch to these guys.

We saw poch from match day one to match day 38. Something that made popiziano to abandon him at match day 3?

Do you know what it means for your biggest fan to abandon you like who dem put hot fried plantain for hand.

Yes he overhit it but it's not out of reach of a striker who knows how to use his left foot to shoot the ball with confidence. Even Neto would have hit it once.

Shut your mouth, Palmer would have hit the ball once as it would have fallen to his powerful left foot.

Neto the goal sense hit it one 😀. You have proved to be a comedian.

Any striker catching up with the pass, talk of hitting one time with a weaker fit is shooting to the stands or off target.

airmark:

Hitter, Palmer should catch up with the ball, before you discuss powerful foot.

That’s why I want you to post the video and expose yourself

Roland17:
I am not sure why but Maresca approached City aggressively with how he used the high line and press. The high line left acres of space behind the defense and against a City attack that is fueled by pace, you are asking for trouble.

It's true that he used the high line but the press was not aggressive at all but lackluster. If you play a high line without pressing then you're asking for too much trouble even if it's against Enyimba.

airmark:
I don dey suspect that Sanchez, he is a gambler as Diggs always call him.

Meanwhile, Maresca not seeing anything wrong with Sanchez and Jackson and the need for them to be replaced, is sackable.

Our main striker getting removed at 61st minute because of poor performance is enough reason to get a better striker before this window closes. But it's Nateevs and his friends making terrible transfer decisions for the team, looking for Garnacho up and down. Trouble looms.

So no be injury Jackson get? Then Maresca dey ment for allowing Nkunku enter that pitch knowing fully well he can't press.

We conceded minutes after that terrible sub.

afrodoc2:
Very sagacious point you made there 😀 but if he was still on his feet and in good position rather than lying prostrate on the floor like an obsequious serf he might have been in position to block the shot.

Sanchez clowned up there but your boy did not cover himself in glory either.

You dey mind am? Nwa Jesus wey Haaland of all people dribble sotey him lie down for ground like almajiri.

I initially think say na body dem give am imagine my shock when I realize say na dribble Haaland dribble am.

Ibime's shamelessness dey shock the shameless.

Lol

Nigga STFU

You might as well tell us Makelele could not produce UCL for Chelsea but frigging Obi Mikel did

We are talking of a consistency of a DM, as measured by points tally which Fernandinho delivered, you are talking of cup competition where anything can happen

Rodri against the Liverpool Fernandinho faced and overcame will produce exactly ZERO league titles

So which Liverpool was there in 2021/22?

Let's also see how many points they will deliver without Rodri.

The press was not aggressive after the first 5 minutes.

Airmark cares about nothing but agenda. Jackson could and should have done better but Palmer missed that goal initially 💯. A sweet through ball from Caicedo which his first touch should have guided the ball to put him in a shooting position.

For example, check out Lewandowski first goal against Real Madrid in Barca 4 : 0 win in LA LIGA. A through ball from Cassado and Lewa's first touch kept the ball in a shooting position and he fired a low shot in the bottom right corner.

Sanchez is so bad that he's a downgrade on Kepa

Neto is primarily left footed na

Which kind agenda be this?

Silentgroper:
But klopp and arteta uses them perfectly ...

They should either be converted to a proper mf or played as false 9 ..


Even slot uses one as a midfielder now .. Elliott, szobozai, Curtis Jones .. they're all 10s..

They're are all deployed as 8 and play it perfectly well

A 10 who can't play 8 is already a poor no 10

You are very foolish and bad belle will soon kill you. That was a sweet through ball by CHALOBAH after dispossessing Marmoush expertly

Dem need to arrest you for the emotional damage you don give that young man. Na you terrorise am reach Senegal oooo. If we check well that boy Dey see all your post for nairaland lool

Incoming Maresca and Sanchez out agenda to follow soon. Make the bald head continue to persist with the Chronic gambler….na sack him go chop soon. Useless bald fraud!

Man United fans warned us about Sancho but we didn't Listen

Where are these clowns coming out from these days?

rooftops:
I think this is where you getting it wrong, our current position is what matters most. If season ends today, no champions league for us. So him getting us to second earlier in the season is inconsequential if by the end of season we finish 15th.

I am not. You guys are trying to rewrite history. It's just surprising this history is only a few weeks old.

If Maresca was not an instant hit, and was losing 1 game and drawing 2 for every 3 and 4 respectively, we would all have been saying he's bedding in, considering only Championship experience, but he needs to pick up the pace asap.

Go look at the expectations of all football pundits after Maresca was hired. Every single one of them expected Chelsea to finish worse than Poch.

So where's all that expectation gone? I know where. Maresca came in and won 10 on a bounce, finishing top of the league in ECL with exceptional performances and squad management. And now, naturally, expectations have adjusted accordingly.

For that reason, it is unfair to him to say it is inconsequential that we rose to 2nd. It is the most consequential thing. It shows that with a few very good decisions, he can get even more out of the team.

As a matter of fact, Maresca has been so good, everyone expected us to take full 3 points against Everton and climb into 1st place, until Liverpool. Do you understand the magnitude of that achievement in only 6 months?

Instead of bashing him, we should be helping him to find out what's gone wrong, the reason for this slump, and how we can help him get back to this winning ways.

Ibime:
Everyone knows Palmer overhit that pass and all commentators said it. Bring video not picture

I can name 5000 strikers that will score that goal with their left foot

Sanchez messed up but Chalobah no try for the last two goals abeg

hensben:
Without the ball Enzo is not mobile, his game will suit la liga more. I want to see midfield of Tchouameni, Santos, Caceido, Palmer and Lavia next season.

Btw, Palmer shouldn’t have thought of passing to Jackson and go for the goal.

Last season, Poch dropped Sanchez and we became stable to a certain level but Maresca insist on playing him this time, this alone is enough to shake already shaken defense.

Colwill is not all that to be guaranteed first 11 shirt, Tosin would’ve done better in this game; his passes and threat in set piece would’ve helped.

From here, I expect three winning streak. No excuse.

That Colwill na another pretender for that defense
